J. Crew Georgia Suede Small Shoulder Bag
Although I believe suede to be a simply dreadful materiel when it comes to keeping it clean, there’s no doubt about its beauty and appeal when it comes to constructing a handbag. J. Crew's Georgia Suede Small Shoulder Bag in cool aqua has a chain handle, cotton herringbone lining, and... [Full Story]
Rafé New York 'Punta Cana Bardot' Apple Basket
Vomit. Vomit. Vomit. This bag makes me want to vomit on the floor. I really don't even know what to say about it, except that it's ugly, and weird, and extremely nauseating. And after such a long break from Purseuing for shopping and preparing for Christmas, this is what I... [Full Story]

Isabella Fiore IKat Tote
It’s not everyday that a purse has the ability to scare the Bejesus out of me. As a matter of fact, it's so rare that when it happens, I find it necessary to highlight it here on Purseuing as a way of warning my readers not to make the same... [Full Story]

Tat Hobo by Drifter
Cute, cheap, casual bags -- my favorite kind. While a part of me wants to save my money for months on end to buy more expensive designer bags, the bigger (and smarter) part of me wants to buy one of these every month. The gray Tat Hobo Bag by Drifter... [Full Story]

Guardian Angel Handbag at MoMA
"Appearing to contain a knife, this handbag makes a provocative statement about people's perceptions and fears."

Dickies Large Grey Cord Tote

Now unfortunately, it can't be anything real expensive or overly-cherished because there’s a pretty good chance I'm going to ruin it within weeks anyway packing various "nurse-like things" around in it. I've had many Dickies bags in... [Full Story]
